The nice thing about this dessert wine is that you can recognize those distinctive musky notes that come from botrytis. This unique vineyard phenomenon only occurs in a handful of Italian vineyards and Fattoria Zerbina is lucky enough to have one. Aromas recall the fuzz on a peach: You get the fresh fruit but also the warm, organic tones from the skin. Its texture is thick and opulent and its finish is long lasting.——M.L.(5/1/2008)—— 92

This is one of the best passito dessert wines from central Italy: It’s plush and silky in the mouth and deliciously sweet without being sticky or heavy. The aromas span a large spectrum, from dried apricot and honey to toasted nuts and caramel thanks to 14 months of aging in new oak. Absolutely beautiful. ——M.L.(2/1/2007)—— 92
